Steelers DE Travis Kirschke is expected to retire this offseason.

There had been no previous indication of Kirschke's plans. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review offhandedly tucked the information into a report about Nick Eason's re-signing. Still, Kirschke turns 36 just prior to the start of the season and is coming off nagging injuries to his calf and ankle the past two years. Thu, Apr 8, 2010 09:02:00 AM

Steelers DE Travis Kirschke (calf) is on track to return to game action this week after practicing again on Friday.

Ziggy Hood and Nick Eason played well in his place, vaulting the Steelers to No. 1 in the league in run defense. Once they get Troy Polamalu (knee) back, the defense will be hitting on all cylinders again. Fri, Nov 27, 2009 11:35:00 AM
